Talonmore (a no-alcohol ‘hot toddy’ from Scotland)

Talonmore (use code englandnaturally for 5% discount) is a delicious ginger cinnamon warming drink inspired by historic Edinburgh. It’s alcohol-free, so ideal to cut back on the booze.

Due to caffeine and high levels of ginger, this drink is not for pregnancy/nursing. Also avoid tonic water (and for certain medical conditions) as a mixer, due to quinine (use soda water instead).

Corks are choking hazards and too dense to compost. So recycle them at off licenses, or send off in bulk to Recorked.

This family business blends Assam tea with ginger, prickly pear and hawthorn berry, for a fiery taste that replicates the ‘pleasant burn’ of alcohol, but without the alcohol. Designed to replicate whisky or rum, all packaging is easy to recycle.

Brewed with Scottish water, it contains notes of cactus juice, with fig and watermelon flavours. Once open, keep chilled (for up to 4 months). Serve neat or on the rocks, or warm on winter nights. 28 servings per bottle.

Almost half of people in England now opt for alcohol-free alternatives. Talonmore was voted the best no-alcohol spirit in blind taste tests by Good Housekeeping and Men’s Health.

For a Hot Toddy, combine 50ml of Talonmore with 150ml of hot water, 25ml each of lemon juice and agave syrup. Then serve with a lemon wheel and cinnamon stick.
